The Oakland North staff has found places to eat, celebrate, shop and pray during the holiday season. We hope we found something especially for you. We have also included information about the holiday schedules of local favorite attractions as well as the AC Transit and BART transportation schedules.

Check back frequently because we’ll continue to update this page as we learn of more Oakland holiday events. Got one to tell us about? Email staff@oaklandnorth.net.
